Belt slipping fix?
I like to snug my belts after I settle into the cockpit,
so I cannot set them to a permanent position. Does someone have a techn- ique to prevent slipping. And yes I am aware of a life-span on some belts.

Years ago we tried sewing velcro on them so that they could easily be adjusted
but wouldn't slip when set.

From seeing the wreck though it looks like the belts are about all that's salvageable.

And yes I am aware of a life-span on some belts. Where is the slipping occurring? On my ASH 26 belts, it was the loop that held it to the airframe (Gadinger belts). If that's your problem, I can send a sketch of what fixed it for me. -- ----- change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA
